Here's a Stupid Idea

There doesn't seem to be any way to solve the problems of the Middle East, so here's my totally impractical and unoriginal idea. Since people on both sides are so intent on living in the past ("My people were here first." "No, my people were here first.") I think we should really go back to those glory days of the Bible. Let's go back to David and Goliath.

I say we put Ehud Olmert and Sheik Nasrallah in a locked room, stripped down to jock straps, and whoever walks out of the room gets to make the rules for, ohhh let's say two years. It would be an Extreme Fighting match for control of the region. Then every two years we do it again. Maybe we have cameras covering the event and air it around the world. It could be bigger than the Super Bowl.

Then these guys who want to fight could maybe just kill each other. It would leave the common citizen on both sides, who only wants to get though his day, spend some time with the kids, maybe have a beer or two, maybe a little romance with the wife. Then get up the next day and do it again, the freedom to do that.
